[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 2211694, member: 30671"] I was taking a youngster who was a bit recoil shy hunting. We'd been using my 6mm with great success during the summer, but just before the season it began having trigger, and safety issues. We didn't need a lot of power targeting small whitetail does, and I pulled out my .30-06, and the manuals. Multiple. 5744 is supposed to be ideal for this sort of thing and I chose a load listed from 3 sources, long story short it worked very well for more than a few rounds, then it didn't. Fortunately minimal injuries to the young man, major damage to my psyche, and one of the best rifle I ever owned. I have always been on the side of caution that said if you want magnum performance, buy the magnum. I learned the opposite is true as well. I now have a nice little bolt gun in 7.62x 39, that respects the limits and abilities of youngsters. It's also appropriately effective on the smaller game animals we target for their first experience. Good post L.Sherm! [/QUOTE]
